Invitation to Accept Christ


Benediction

There's a sweet, sweet Spirit in this place,
And I know that it's the Spirit of the Lord;
There are sweet expressions on each face,
And I know they feel the presence of the Lord.
 
Chorus
Sweet Holy Spirit, Sweet heavenly Dove,
Stay right here with us, filling us with Your love.
And for these blessings we lift our hearts in praise;
Without a doubt we'll know that we have been revived,
When we shall leave this place.
 
There are blessings you cannot receive
Till you know Him in His fullness and believe;
You're the one to profit when you say,
"I am going to walk with Jesus all the way."
 
If you say He saved you from your sin,
Now you're weak, you're bound and cannot enter in,
You can make it right if you will yield,
You'll enjoy the Holy Spirit that we feel.

FAITHFUL GIVING
We want to say thank you for your giving and partnership.  YOUR GIVING MATTERS! Your faithful giving allows us to increasingly do the work of ministry for our members AND to everyone the Lord sends to us and sends us to.  
2 Corinthians 9: 6-7 ESV
6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  
Malachi 3:10 ESV
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
 You may give HERE.

This is your friendly reminder that Mens Bible Study will take place on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025 at 7:30 pm via zoom. Our focus for this week will be  The book of Micah chapters 3 & 4.. The class facilitator will be Bill Jenkins.

The RHEMA Men's Ministry is about God's ideal of Manhood.   As men we purpose to come together for spiritual empowerment. Our primary goal is to help men grow in their relationship with God and build deep friendships with other godly men in hopes of developing spiritually stronger men, husbands, fathers, families and churches. In our discipleship efforts we employ the small group model in  facilitating the growth of solid and deeper friendships with other men.

YOUNG ADULT BIBLE STUDY -  Abundance: Living Responsibly With God's Gifts will guide us into the biblical understanding of abundant life and help us sort out many of the faithful and practical issues that come together in a life of abundance.  Seven chapters offer Bible verses and discussion questions about "a life of joy," "material abundance," "over-indulgence," "Living simply," "money," "ways in which we are handled by our stuff," and "ethics." We'll wrestle with our personal finances, seeking always to discern the will of God.

Fortunately, if we will only have ears to hear, we are blessed with an abundance of biblical guidance. For Jesus really did have a preoccupation with wealth, speaking of money five times as often as prayer. Of course, his interest in wealth was not in its pursuit, but in the danger it can pose to Christian discipleship. Sign up HERE.
